Who: Tony Stark, OTA
What: Armor Test, this should go well
Where: The park for now
When: 11/7 afternoon


Tony had the feeling this wasn't going to go well. Stark Tech tests rarely did,, but that is why he took the armor to the park instead of testing it elsewhere. At least here someone could see him if he crashed. He sighed as he flexed his arms and legs and heard the wine and hiss of the servos. "Well at least the main parts work," he muttered to himself as he moved to the center of the park and took a deep breath. "No time like the present to break the streak."


He took a deep breath and counted to three before firing up the boots and very quickly crashed back down to the ground. "Okay that was embarrassing."

Bucky hadn't seen Tony yet during his stay here. He didn't even know if Tony knew he was there, but that was probably for the better. Considering how things had gone the last time Bucky'd seen him, he would have given Tony space anyway. Bucky didn't think there was much, if anything, he could do to make things better, but he didn't want or expect Tony to forgive him. How could he when Bucky still hadn't forgiven himself for all of the things Hydra had made him do?

He kept his distance even when he approached, giving Tony a wide berth for both of their comfort. His shoulders were tense but he was trying to keep his hands loose and relaxed. It was a difficult balance. "Looks like you're having some bad luck."

Of course it is

Tony had had time to think about what had happened back home and while he wasn't going to be a fan of James Banes, he was willing to play nice for Steve's sake. He pulls up to his full height with a clank. "Yeah well I'm trying to rebuild something amazing with limited resources so you know things tend to go sideways."

"I heard you were good at that," Bucky said. "Working with limited resources." Not having things go sideways. Which, one could argue, Tony was also good at. He wanted to ask how Tony had been doing, if he was alright, but Bucky was pretty sure he already knew the answer. It was hard to be honestly alright after what had happened.

"When you live a life made of scraps you learn how to work with them," Tony said, "anyone can do it when pushed hard enough." He looks over the armor trying to find what most likely isn't working. It also allows him. to keep from looking at Barnes. "Heard you were here...Rogers must be thrilled."

"I guess he is." He hadn't talked to Steve much since getting there, though. But he knew Steve was alive and alright, and that was good enough. "You-..." he hesitated. "-you made it out okay?" Out of Siberia. He didn't know how or if the fight had ended, but Tony was here and Bucky hoped that meant things were okay.

"Armor was a wreck and I had no other way of getting home, but yeah sure I got out okay," Tony says bitterly, "someone here must have seen what a sad sack I was and decided to pull me here before I died."

He didn't think Tony would have died out there. However the fight ended, Bucky was sure Steve would have at least told someone where Tony was, just to be safe. But he didn't know that for sure.

"I'm-- I'm glad you're alright," he said. "I never wanted to hurt you." Whether Tony believed that or not, it was true.

"It's not me you hurt," Tony says and turns to face him, "look. I am never going to like you Barnes. You killed my family....for Steve's sake I am going to learn to tolerate you, because he's the one I'm mostly pissed at."

[cryogenics]

"Howard was my friend." Bucky would never have hurt him if he'd been in his right mind, if he'd actually been in control of anything. Howard had recognized him, after all those years. Had HYDRA known he would? Was that why they'd sent Bucky and not some other agent? "You didn't deserve to find out the way you did." There was no way anyone 'deserved' to find out how their loved ones died. "Why Steve?"

[notonmyspace]

Tony was about to say exactly why Steve angered him, but he decided to temper it just in case it got back to Steve. "Because he lied," he replied sharply, "I thought we were friends and he lied to me...for a damm year about my parents. I thought he trusted me more than that."
